Build on Brick Bookends by ThinkGeek

June 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

To take a little diversion from the regular news, ThinkGeek has just launched a new product that you might be interested in. If you have lots of books on your shelf, then these new Build on Brick Bookends may just be the thing you need. The set of two bookends have an exterior building surface that are compatible with many construction bricks including LEGO. They also have metal slides for under the books for more stability.

I’ve reviewed ThinkGeek products before including their Build on Brick Mug and the LEGO bricks seems to stay on pretty well. I assume the plates on the bookends will work just as good. You can now order them on their website and the set of two will go for $19.99.

On the last day of E3, Arthur Parsons did one last interview today with IGN for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and they showed off an extended demo gameplay of the game. Arthur noted that LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is a “celebration of Avengers” and there will be over 100 new characters that haven’t appeared before in LEGO games including Ulysses Klaw as well as possibly various comic book costumes. There’s not much more information than what we already knew but you can check out the video below.

LEGO Star Wars San Diego Comic Con 2015 Exclusive Dagobah Set Revealed

June 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Complex has revealed another exclusive LEGO set that will be sold at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, the LEGO Star Wars Mini Dagobah set. It will have 177 pieces and will retail for $39.99 at the LEGO booth #2829.

The set features the iconic scene from The Empire Strikes Back on Dagobah where Yoda was exiled to and was the training grounds for Luke Skywalker. The set has a mini X-wing and Yoda’s hut as well as a mini Luke and Yoda.

One thing that is new at SDCC 2015 is that fans must pick up a ticket at the Pavilion Terrace which is like a raffle. This is definitely a nice change since we don’t have to rush down to the exhibit hall when the doors open. The LEGO Star Wars Dagobah set joins the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron set as the ones being revealed so far to be sold at SDCC 2015.

Update: Below are the official rules for the LEGO exclusives.

First Official Look at LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 (71010)

June 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 (71010) - Monsters

There’s finally an official image of the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010) courtesy of Hoth Bricks. We first heard about this rumored set back in January when I was the first to report this series being a Monsters theme. I also noted that this Monsters series would be available in October which seems to be the case.

In this new official image, which looks to be from a catalog, shows four of the minifigures in Series 14: Rocker Monster, Crazy Witch, Skeleton, and Lady Vampire. Of course these names are not the official names because they were loosely translated from a Czech website. Below is the rumored lineup for the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010). What do you guys think of them? I feel some of the minifigures have a good potential to be army builders.

Mad Scientist
The Fly
Crazy Witch
Gargoyle
Rocker Monster
Lady Vampire
Grim Reaper
Specter/Ghost/Phantom/Spirit
Skeleton Guy/Skeleton
Bigfoot
Tiger Woman
Werewolf
Zombie Pirate Captain
Zombie Cheerleader
Zombie Businessman
Plant Monster/Man-eating Plant

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game – The Lost World: Jurassic Park Playthrough

June 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I recently had some time to play more of LEGO Jurassic World and I was able to complete the story mode for The Lost World: Jurassic Park movie part of the game. I made some changes on how I uploaded the videos to YouTube from Twitch. Instead of just doing a long playthrough and uploading in 15 minute increments, I decided to upload the videos by the different scenes in the game. Again this is just the story mode so I haven’t collected everything I’m supposed to yet until I get to the free play mode which I’ll get to sometime in the future.

Ghostbusters Peter Venkman Minifigure Confirmed for LEGO Dimensions

June 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

A few weeks ago, I reported that there were some new licenses that were announced for LEGO Dimensions including Ghostbusters and Midway Arcades. At E3, it’s been confirmed that we’ll be getting a Ghostbusters Peter Venkman minifigure with a new hair pieces as well as some arm printing with the No Ghost patch. If you have the LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108), you would know that the minifigures in that set do not have any arm printing so it’s nice to see that the LEGO Dimensions version will have some. We’ll see in the near future if the other Ghostbusters members will also be included in Dimensions as well as the rumored Slimer minifigure.

Also check out IGN’s interview with Jon Katz from WB Interactive Entertainment and Mark Warburton from TT Games to see Peter in action in LEGO Dimensions.
